It seems that your Asthma treatment is not at all optimised as you are using your inhaler therapy only SOS.GERD ,being a common Co morbidity of asthma has to be managed with some life style modifications along with medications.As a whole you must consult a pulmonologist physically or online to sort out the issues .

Your asthma is not optimally treated.
You need to have a good control over the disease and the frequency of need for sos medications will reduce.
You cannot use Maxiflo as a sos medication.
Please consult a chest physician/ pulmonologist and sort your asthma out.

See, asthma is an allergic condition where your airways are narrowed due to your Allergic tendency. How much they are narrowed, can be measured by a Pulmonary function test. Till the airways are not too much narrowed, you may not get breathing difficulty.
So in asthma, inhalers should be used regularly and not SOS only. As on a longer time without taking inhalers, if your airways are narrowed, they will start becoming narrower on a permanent basis and your lungs may become weak.
Next Steps
consult a Pulmonologist, do a Pulmonary function test and start taking inhlaers as advised by a doctor regularly
